Xuejiao Gao, Lianchun Long
TL;DR
This study explores how stretching-bending synergistic lattices made of stainless steel perform under high-speed compression, showing improved strength and energy absorption with design optimization.
Contribution
The paper introduces optimized uniform and gradient lattice designs that significantly enhance energy absorption under high strain rates.
Findings
Specific strength increases by 75.6% when strain rate rises from 100 s−1 to 1000 s−1.
Optimized uniform SBSLs show 275.4% and 368.8% higher SEA than initial and UL designs.
Gradient SBSLs improve SEA by 154% and 217% compared to initial and UL designs.
Abstract
Lattice structures are the ideal choice for lightweight, high-strength, and energy-absorbing applications. In this study, the mechanical response of Stretching–Bending Synergistic Lattices (SBSLs) fabricated from 316L stainless steel is investigated under dynamic compression at high strain rates using finite element modeling (FEM), which has been experimentally validated. The results show that the strain rate has a significant influence on specific strength and specific energy absorption (SEA). When the strain rate increases from 100 s−1 to 1000 s−1, the specific strength increases by 75.6%. A smaller cell height enhances overall impact resistance. The increase in the diameter of the backbone cell rod can simultaneously enhance the SEA and specific strength. To maximize SEA, optimization models for uniform SBSLs and gradient SBSLs are respectively constructed. When the relative density…
